I. Introduction
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA), was retained by United Commercial Development
Corporation (UCD) to conduct a traffic signal warrant study at the intersection of Denton Tap Road
and Highland Drive in the City of Lewisville, Texas. UCD is developing a commercial site in the
southeast comer of the intersection and is concerned that site users cannot easily and safely reach
southbound Denton Tap Road. A site plan is included in the Appendix. The main tenant is a high-
end grocery store, with additional retail, restaurant, bank, and gas station uses.
Since the existing median opening on Denton Tap Road between SH 121 and Highland Drive only
allows left turns from Denton Tap Road, only the SH 121 westbound frontage road (WBFR) and
Highland Drive offer opportunities for the site traffic to turn south on Denton Tap Road. The site
has only a single driveway to the SH 121 WBFR, which is located approximately 330' from the
WBFR intersection with Denton Tap Road. Outbound traffic desiring to turn left or make a U-turn
must cross two lanes of heavy traffic with a 55 MPH speed limit in that short distance. As the other
option for reaching southbound Denton Tap Road, Highland Drive is currently unsignalized and
turning traffic there must cross the busy Denton Tap Road.
To rectify this lack of access to southbound Denton Tap Road, UCD proposes to fund the
signalization of the intersection of Denton Tap Road and Highland Drive if a signal is warranted.
This report documents the application of the signal warrants to the intersection conditions.
II. Study Procedures
The Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) defines eight warrants, or
justifying sets of conditions, at least one of which should be fully satisfied before signalization is
considered as an option for traffic control. Traffic volumes, the number of traffic lanes, the
prevailing traffic speeds, traffic accident experience, and measured delay for minor street traffic are
the factors included in the evaluation of these warrants. The traffic volumes used for the analysis
will be the existing traffic at the intersection, plus an additional analysis which includes projections
of traffic resulting from the adjacent UCD retail development. Retail traffic will be projected using
standard trip generation and traffic assignment procedures.
III. Intersection Conditions
A. Current Roadway Conditions
Exhibit 1 shows a map of the study area. Denton Tap Road is a six-lane divided major north-south
thoroughfare with a 45 MPH speed . limit, and is designated a principal arterial P6D on the
Lewisville Thoroughfare Plan. Highland Drive is a four-lane undivided collector with a 40 MPH
speed limit, and is designated a collector C4U on the Thoroughfare Plan.
The intersection of Denton Tap Road and Highland Drive is presently unsignalized, with left-turn
bays for both directions of Denton Tap Road and a right-turn deceleration lane for northbound
Denton Tap Road. There is presently no west leg of the intersection since Highland Drive does not
extend to the west of Denton Tap Road. The westbound Highland Drive approach to Denton Tap
Road has a right-turn deceleration lane, and with no through movements the center lane of the
westbound approach is currently unused.

B. Spacings
Along Denton Tap Road, Highland Drive is located approximately 890' north of the existing
signal at the SH 121 WBFR. There is an existing channelized left-in-only median opening
approximately halfway between the WBFR and Highland Drive.
North of Highland Drive, the next median opening is at Turnberry Lane, a distance of
approximately 550'. It is approximately 2,300' to the next anticipated signal at Vista Ridge Mall
Drive.
C. Speeds
The posted speed on Denton Tap Road north of SH 121 is 45 MPH, and the 85th-percentile free-
flow speed is at least that high, so the warrant volume thresholds are eligible to use the 70%
factors applied for roadways over 40 MPH.
D. Number of Approach Lanes
For the purposes of a signal warrant analysis, Denton Tap Road will clearly be the major street,
with a six-lane cross-section which for the purposes of the signal warrant study will be "2 or more
lanes". Highland Drive provides separate left- and right-turn lanes at the intersection with
Denton Tap Road. Accordingly, the higher minor street thresholds for "2 or more lanes" will be
used.
E. Existing Traffic Volume Data
To provide existing traffic volume data for the signal warrant analysis, the approach volumes at
Denton Tap Road and Highland Drive were counted in 15-minute intervals for 24 hours on
November 13,2007. Daily traffic was 21,671 on Denton Tap Road and 2,711 on Highland Drive.
Table 1 shows the hourly totals for the existing traffic on each approach. The detailed data sheets
are included in the Appendix.

IV. Signal Warrant Application - Existing Traffic
As previously stated, the Texas MlITCD sets forth eight warrants, or justifying sets of conditions,
at least one of which should be fully satisfied before consideration is given to installing a traffic
signal. The two major volume-based warrants are applied to the collected data to determine if the
traffic volumes are above the warrant thresholds. The detailed warrant analysis worksheets,
including the warrant curves described below, are included in the Appendix.
A. Warrant lA - Eight Hour Volume - Minimum Vehicular Volume - NOT MET
For Warrant 1 Case A, Minimum Vehicular Volume, the 70% thresholds for the major roadway
and minor roadway are 420 and 140 vehicles per hour, respectively. Although the Denton Tap
Road traffic is well in excess of the threshold, the existing Highland Drive traffic does not meet
this threshold for any hours ofthe day. Warrant lA is not met.
B. Warrant IB - Eight Hour Volume - Interruption of Continuous Traffic - NOT
MET
For Warrant I Case B, Interruption of Continuous Traffic, the 70% thresholds for the major
roadway and the minor roadway are 630 and 70 vehicles per hour, respectively. The Denton Tap
Road traffic is well in excess of this threshold, and the existing Highland Drive traffic also
exceeds the threshold for seven hours per day, just below the minimum of eight hours required.
Warrant 1 B is not met.
C. Warrant 2 - Four Hour Vehicular Volume - MET
Based on Warrant 2, Four-Hour Vehicular Volume, the 70% thresholds for meeting the warrant
vary by the major roadway volume, down to a minimum of 80 minor roadway vehicles if the
major roadway volume is in excess of 900 vehicles and the minor street has a two-lane approach.
The Denton Tap Road volumes and Highland Drive volumes combine to meet the threshold for at
least six hours per day, exceeding the minimum of four hours required. Warrant 2 is met.
D. Other Warrants
Warrant 3 - Peak Hour - MET
The peak hour warrant is typically used for special locations where a specific event such as a shift
change or school drop-off could need signalization, but roadway volumes do not meet the longer-
term volume warrants. More restrictive than the other volume warrants, the 70% thresholds for
meeting the peak hour warrant vary by the major roadway volume, down to a minimum of 100
minor roadway vehicles if the major roadway volume is in excess of 1,125 vehicles and the minor
street has a two-lane approach. Although the intersection does have the adjacent Vista Ridge
United Methodist Church, a use which sometimes generates significant peaks of traffic demand,
the peak hour warrant is assumed not to be applicable. Still, the existing intersection traffic meets
the 70% Warrant 3 thresholds for at least three hours ofthe day.
Warrant 4 - Pedestrian Volume - NOT MET
The satisfaction of this warrant would require very high pedestrian volume levels that almost
never exist except in a large central business district or at a large school or university campus.
Therefore, it can be assumed that this warrant will not be satisfied.

and Associates, Inc.
Warrant 5 - School Crossine - NOT APPLICABLE
The subject intersection is not a designated school crossing. Therefore, this warrant is not
applicable.
Warrant 6 - Coordinated Sienal System - NOT APPLICABLE
This warrant would be applicable only at a location between existing coordinated traffic signals if
the adjacent signals "do not provide the necessary degree of platooning and the proposed and
adjacent traffic control signals will collectively provide a progressive operation." This warrant is
presumed not to be applicable.
Warrant 7 - Crash Experience - NOT APPLICABLE
This warrant would be satisfied if five or more reported crashes of types susceptible to correction
by signal control had occurred during a 12-month period and if traffic volumes were at least 80
percent ofthose required to satisfy Warrant I or Warrant 4. Crash data was not available, so this
warrant is assumed not to be applicable.
Warrant 8 - Roadwav Network - NOT APPLICABLE
This warrant would be applicable only at the common intersection of two or more designated
major routes. Although Denton Tap Road is clearly a major route, Highland Drive is only a
major collector. Accordingly, this warrant is not applicable.
E. Warrant Analysis Summary - Existing Traffic
With Warrant 2 being met with existing traffic conditions, it is clear that the intersection meets
the technical requirements to be eligible for signalization even before the addition of the UCD
site.

V. Den Site-Generated Traffic Volume
To find the future magnitude of minor-street traffic after addition of the UCD site, the site-
generated traffic from the UCD site contributing to the Highland Drive westbound traffic will need
to be projected. Portions of the site traffic were estimated in a limited traffic impact analysis (TIA)
dated August 7, 2007 was produced by DeShazo, Tang & Associates, Inc., parts of which are used
in this analysis. Unfortunately, the TIA covered only the SH 121 side of the site and did not
include any analysis of the Denton Tap Road conditions at Highland Drive or the channelized
median opening.
A. Projected Site-Generated Traffic Volume Data
The site's trip generation was calculated in the DT&A report, with a daily total of 13,068 one-
way trips, 342 outbound trips in the AM peak hour, and 735 outbound trips in the PM peak hour.
Excerpts from the DT &A report which are used in this analysis can be found in the Appendix.
B. Projected Site-Generated Traffic Assignment
UCD's research indicates that the demographics of high-end grocery store customers shows that
approximately 75% of the site traffic should be to and from the south on Denton Tap Road. The
DT &A traffic assignment does not appear to be complete, as it does not account for 100% of the
site traffic in either the inbound or outbound directions. Taking UCD's demographics into
account while remaining conservative, this analysis assumes that 50% of the outbound traffic
seeks to travel south on Denton Tap Road. The other 50% is distributed between north on Denton
Tap Road and east or west on SH 121.
Of the 50% destined for southbound Denton Tap Road, a conservative 20% is assumed to use the
westbound left turn from Highland Drive. The only other option is the driveway to SH 121
WBFR, which has a difficult movement to reach southbound Denton Tap Road, and is also
occupied with a significant portion of the site traffic destined for SH 121. Besides the relative
attractiveness of the two routes to southbound Denton Tap Road, the 20% using Highland Drive
is also conservative since the grocery store and the 20,200 SF retail building which are
immediately adjacent to Highland Drive make up 6,967 daily trips, or 53%, of the site's trip
generation.
Of the site traffic destined for the north on Denton Tap Road, 5% is assumed to use the
westbound right-turn from Highland Drive to northbound Denton Tap Road. The other
northbound traffic can enter Denton Tap Road directly from the two site driveways.
C. Projected Site-Generated Traffic Volumes by Hour
For the specific AM and PM peak hours, the actual outbound site trips generated with the trip
generation procedure are used. The AM or PM peak hour outbound volumes are multiplied by
the traffic assignment percentages on westbound Highland Drive. For other hours in the day, the
outbound volumes on Highland Drive are found by taking the percentage of daily retail site traffic
that occurs in each hour, using percentages from the retail category in the ITE Trip Generation.
The overall number of exiting vehicles is multiplied by the percentage of site traffic using
westbound Highland Drive to find the number of vehicles in each hour. Table 2 shows the
resulting volumes which will be used in the warrant analysis.

VI. Signal Warrant Application - Existing Plus Site-Generated Traffic
The same warrant analysis is applied to the volumes shown in Table 2. It should be noted that the
Denton Tap Road traffic volumes remain as the existing traffic volumes, and do not include any site
traffic. For an additional conservative analysis, each warrant will also be tested with the with the
more strenuous 100% conditions, as if Denton Tap Road was 40 MPH or less. The detailed warrant
analysis worksheets, including the warrant curves described below, are included in the Appendix.
A. Warrant lA - Eight Hour Volume - Minimum Vehicular Volume - MET
For Warrant 1 Case A, Minimum Vehicular Volume, the 70% thresholds for the major roadway
and minor roadway are 420 and 140 vehicles per hour, respectively. The Denton Tap Road traffic
is well in excess of the threshold, and the existing Highland Drive traffic plus the projected site
traffic combine to meet this threshold for at least ten hours of the day, exceeding the minimum of
eight hours required. Warrant 1 A is met.
The Warrant lA 100% thresholds for the major roadway and minor roadway are 600 and 200
vehicles per hour, respectively. The Denton Tap Road traffic is well in excess of the threshold,
but the existing Highland Drive traffic plus the projected site traffic meets this threshold for only
seven hours of the day, less than the minimum of eight hours required.
B. Warrant IB - Eight Hour Volume - Interruption of Continuous Traffic - MET
For Warrant 1 Case B, Interruption of Continuous Traffic, the 70% thresholds for the major
roadway and the minor roadway are 630 and 70 vehicles per hour, respectively. The Denton Tap
Road traffic is well in excess of this threshold, and the existing Highland Drive traffic plus the
projected site traffic combine to meet the threshold for at least thirteen hours per day, exceeding
the minimum of eight hours required. Warrant 1B is met.
The Warrant 1B 100% thresholds for the major roadway and minor roadway are 900 and 100
vehicles per hour, respectively. The Denton Tap Road traffic is well in excess of the threshold,
and the existing Highland Drive traffic plus the projected site traffic combine to meet this
threshold for at least eleven hours of the day, exceeding the minimum of eight hours required.
C. Warrant 2 - Four Hour Vehicular Volume - MET
Based on Warrant 2, Four-Hour Vehicular Volume, the 70% thresholds for meeting the warrant
vary by the major roadway volume, down to a minimum of 80 minor roadway vehicles if the
major roadway volume is in excess of 900 vehicles and the minor street has a two-lane approach.
The Denton Tap Road volumes and Highland Drive volumes combine to meet the threshold for at
least twelve hours per day, exceeding the minimum of four hours required. Warrant 2 is met.
The Warrant 2 100% thresholds for meeting the warrant vary by the major roadway volume,
down to a minimum of 115 minor roadway vehicles if the major roadway volume is in excess of
1,100 vehicles and the minor street has a two-lane approach. The Denton Tap Road volumes and
Highland Drive volumes combine to meet the threshold for at least nine hours per day, exceeding
the minimum of four hours required.

D. Other Warrants
Warrant 3 - Peak Hour - MET
The peak hour warrant is typically used for special locations where a specific event such as a shift
change or school drop-off could need signalization, but roadway volumes do not meet the longer-
term volume warrants. More restrictive than the other volume warrants, the 70% thresholds for
meeting the peak hour warrant vary by the major roadway volume, down to a minimum of 100
minor roadway vehicles ifthe major roadway volume is in excess of 1,125 vehicles and the minor
street has a two-lane approach. Although the intersection does have the adjacent Vista Ridge
United Methodist Church, a use which sometimes generates significant peaks of traffic demand,
the peak hour warrant is assumed not to be applicable. Still, the existing intersection traffic meets
the 70% Warrant 3 thresholds for at least ten hours of the day. The 100% Warrant 3 threshold is
met at least four hours of the day.
Warrant 4 - Pedestrian Volume - NOT MET
The satisfaction of this warrant would require very high pedestrian volume levels that almost
never exist except in a large central business district or at a large school or university campus.
Therefore, it can be assumed that this warrant will not be satisfied.
Warrant 5 - School Crossine: - NOT APPLICABLE
The subject intersection is not a designated school crossing. Therefore, this warrant is not
applicable.
Warrant 6 - Coordinated Sie:nal System - NOT APPLICABLE
This warrant would be applicable only at a location between existing coordinated traffic signals if
the adjacent signals "do not provide the necessary degree of platooning and the proposed and
adjacent traffic control signals will collectively provide a progressive operation." This warrant is
presumed not to be applicable.
Warrant 7 - Crash Experience - NOT APPLICABLE
This warrant would be satisfied if five or more reported crashes of types susceptible to correction
by signal control had occurred during a 12-month period and if traffic volumes were at least 80
percent of those required to satisfy Warrant 1 or Warrant 4. Crash data was not available, so this
warrant is assumed not to be applicable.
Warrant 8 - Roadwav Network - NOT APPLICABLE
This warrant would be applicable only at the common intersection of two or more designated
major routes. Although Denton Tap Road is clearly a major route, Highland Drive is only a
major collector. Accordingly, this warrant is not applicable.
E. Warrant Analysis Summary - Existing Plus Site-Generated Traffic
With Warrant lA, Warrant lB, and Warrant 2 being met with existing traffic conditions plus the
site-generated traffic, it is clear that the intersection meets the technical requirements to be
eligible for signalization.

VII. Conclusions
A traffic signal is proposed for the intersection of Denton Tap Road and Highland Drive in
Lewisville, Texas. The intersection is north of SH 121, with the nearest adjacent signal being
approximately 890' south at the SH 121 WBFR. The signal spacing is considered adequate for
signal installation at Highland Drive.
The proposed signal installation was analyzed using the signal warrant procedure from the Texas
MUTCD. Using only the existing traffic volumes, the proposed signal was found to meet
Warrant 2.
Current development of the UCD site in the southeast comer of the intersection will result in more
traffic on Highland Drive within a short time period. Using the existing traffic volumes plus the
projected site-generated traffic volumes, the proposed signal was found to meet Warrant lA,
Warrant 1B, and Warrant 2. The proposed signal also meets the more stringent 100% factors of
Warrant 1B and Warrant 2.
Due to existing prohibition of outbound left-turning movements at the median opening between SH
121 and Highland Drive, the UCD site traffic must use SH 121 WBFR or Highland Drive to reach
southbound Denton Tap Road. The SH 121 WBFR path requires difficult maneuvering within
heavy traffic flows, while Highland Drive traffic likewise requires a difficult unsignalized left turn
onto a busy arterial. The proposed signal at the intersection of Denton Tap Road and Highland
Drive will provide important access to southbound Denton Tap Road for both the existing Highland
Drive users and the future UCD site traffic. With the appropriate coordination the proposed signal
will not negatively affect the Denton Tap Road through traffic conditions, and may actually
improve conditions at the SH 121 frontage road intersections by forming southbound traffic into
platoons before they reach the frontage roads.

3.0 TRIP GENERATION
3.1 Development Trip Generation and Mode Split
Trip generation for the retail development was calculated using the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation manual (7th Edition). ITE Trip Generation is a
compilation of actual traffic generation data by land use collected over several decades by
crE'ditable sources across the country, and it is accE'pted as the standard methodology to
determine trip generation volumes for various land uses where sufficient data exists. It is
assumed that "mode split" characteristics (i.e., consideration of vehicle occupancy, transit
usage, and othE'r factors that may affect site-generated traffic volume) for the subject uses
an' "typical" and are sufficiently incorporated in the default Trip Generation data.
Trip generation is summarized in vehicular trip ends. A trip end is a one-way trip entering
or leaving a site. This analysis evaluated typical weekday AM and PM peak hour
conditions of the local street traffic. For analysis purposes the following land uses were
used.
. Specialty Retail (814)
. Supermarket (850)
. Drive-In Bank (912)
. High Turnover Restaurant (932)
. Fast Food Restaurant with Drive Thru (934)
. Gas Station with Convenience Market (945)
Table 3 provides a summary of the calculated trip generation data for the Project. Excerpts
and a description from Trip Generation of these land uses are provided in Appendix B.

Shopping Center
1
Description
L
A shopping center is an integrated group of commercial establishments that is planned,
developed, owned and managed as a unit A shopping center's composition is related to its.
market area in terms of size, location and type of store. A shopping center also provides on-site
parking facilities sufficient to serve its own parking demands. Specialty retail center (Land Use
814) and factory outlet center (Land Use 823) are related uses.
i
Additional Data
L
L
Shopping centers, including neighborhood centers, community centers,regional centers and
super regional centers, were surveyed for this land use. Some of these centers contained non-
merchandising facilities, such as office buildings, movie theaters, restaurants, post offices, banks,
health clubs and recreational facilities (for example, ice skating rinks or indoor miniature golf .
courses). The centers ranged in size from 1,700 to 2.2 million square feet of groSs"leasable area
(GLA). The centers studied were located in suburban areas throughout the United States and
therefore represent typical U.S. suburban conditions.
L
L
Many shopping centers, In addition to the integrated unit of shops in one building or
enclosed around a mall, include outparcels (peripheral buildings or pads located on the
perimeter of the center adjacent to the streets and major access points). . These buildings
are typically drive-in banks, retail stores, restaurants, or small offices. Although the data
herein do not indicate which of the centers studied included peripheral buildings, Ifean be
assumed that some of the data show their effect. .
L
I
L
The vehicle trips generated at a shopping center are based upon the GLA of the center. In cases
of smaller centers without an enclosed mall or peripheral buildings, the GLA could be the same
as the gross floor area of the building.
I
i
I
L
Separate equations have been developed for shopping centers during the Christmas shopping
season. Plots were included for the weekday peak hour of adjacent street traffic and the.
Saturday peak hour of the generator.
Information on approximate hourly, monthly and daily variation In shopping center traffic
Is shown in Tables 1-4. It should be noted, however, that the Information contained in
these tables is based on a limited sample size. Therefore, caution should be exercised
when applying the data. Also, some Information provided in the tables may conflict with
the results obtained by applying the average rate or regression equations. When this
occurs, It Is suggested that the results from the average rate or regression equations be
used, as they are based on a larger number of studies.
